 As many of you know I have a second channel where I focus on hardware and currently I've been looking at the Wemos boards which are ESP8266 development boards which if you've watched any of my videos on the channel you know that I love the ESP8266 chips even though they might be dated pretty soon as there's newer chips coming out but still very useful and the Wemos boards again what makes them nice is that they have stackable shields which in some cases a little overkill here I'm using a relay that can control higher voltages for you up to 250 volts AC and 10 amps really there you only need three pins to control this a 5 volt a ground and a signal pin but it's nice to have stackable boards like this and currently on my second channel I just released a video on the basic aspects of this I'm going to be looking at just turning it on and off with a timer not actually using any of the Wi-Fi features and in the next video next week we'll go over setting up the ESP8266 board so that it connects my local Wi-Fi and then it acts as a web server which you can then communicate through a web browser curl W get anything that does HTTP requests which is simple to do with any programming language really and you can use this to control things such as light switches you can even use it to trigger things like switches and such even though something like a MOSFET or something lower you know little tinier than this might be a better option relays are a simple way of doing that and all together this bottom board is probably three to four dollars and this board is probably a buck to a buck 50 so all together you got a four or five dollar project here that can wirelessly control high voltage items in your house from around the world so go ahead to my second channel check it out there should be a link in the description or hopefully at the end of this video and I do thank you for watching as always I hope that you have a great day
